MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE SCROBBLING ON THESE MEDIA APPS TO ENABLE TUNEPOP!

To enable TunePop, you just need to enable Scrobbling in the player settings. You don't need a Last FM account, or Last FM Scrobble Droid apps installed or running, just enable scrobbling in the media player. Tune Pop should work with most media players that support scrobbling.

Want more features? UPGRADE to Tune Pop PRO! Just $.99! Tune Pop Free Version has a handy link to PRO, which disappears after you purchase PRO.

Tune Pop PRO adds the following features:

TICKER - the song title and artist appear in the Notification Bar as a ticker instead of or in addition to the popup

SCREEN POSITION - Change the position of the popup from the center of the screen to the top or bottom

FONT SIZE - Change the size of the popup window and font

DISPLAY FREQUENCY - Have the POP or TICKER appear periodically, in increments of 15 seconds, in case you miss the POP at the beginning of the song

POP SHAPE - change from a rectangle to an oval if you're feeling whimsical

Just purchase and download Tune Pop Pro and it will automatically enable all advanced Tune Pop features.

Do you use a media player that Tune Pop doesn't support? We can try and make it work if it has an API, broadcast intents or supports scrobbling. Just let us know.

Here's Google NAV in landscape, with the POP Positioned at the bottom of the screen:

Here's the browser, with just the TICKER POP in the notification bar:

PURCHASING TUNE POP PRO ENABLES ALL ADVANCED FEATURES IN THE FREE VERSION OF TUNE POP AND REQUIRES THAT THE FREE VERSION OF TUNE POP BE INSTALLED ALSO!

A lot of work went into making TunePop very small and well behaved in terms of performance and battery usage. It has a VERY small memory footprint.

Tune Pop uses SCROBBLE and other Media Player intent broadcasts to initiate POP services, and uses POST_DELAYED intents to enable periodic POPS so nothing is constantly running in the background, and everything shuts down when no music is playing.

Some future enhancements we are planning:

. allowing suppression of the Tune Pop logo in the POP
. including album name in POP
. adding album art in place of the logo
. allow change of font and background colors
. ?

Feedback on additional enhancements is very welcome.

Tune Pop was developed by Happy Vampire Software. We are a father and son startup doing development in Android and WP7.

We have more apps in the pipeline. Tune Pop is our first published effort, but it was built with an architecture and app patterns that we will be using as the foundation for our other development efforts.

Please download the free app and if you like it and would like the additional features, please download Tune Pop Pro.

Please provide feedback and help us make Tune Pop better, more useful, and a successful app.

TASKER SUPPORT - use TASKER tasks to enable or disable Tune Pop. This is especially useful if you want to only enable Tune Pop in certain situations, such as only when you are driving and your device is car docked.

Emirhan87- We'll take a look at playerpro. Here's the deal with scrobbling. There are several different ways to scrobble on Android. If a media player does scrobble broadcasts in any one of several forms (ScrobbleDroid, Last FM, Simple-LastFM-Scrobble) then we intercept that broadcast and use it.

However, there is a way to use HTTP directly to scrobble, and some players use that. TuneWiki is an example. So, I was unable to use scrobbling to work with TuneWiki. We worked directly with TuneWiki to use an API they are coming out with in their new version, so when TuneWiki releases their new version TuneWiki will be supported.

Creator - here's my issue with Pandora. They don't scrobble. They have no documented API or broadcast intents. And, unlike LastFM or TuneWiki, they don't respond to my requests for support for integration.

So, bottom line, I suggest using LastFM instead of Pandora. After using both, I think LastFM is better anyway.
